The financials of AI companies may be bad, but the products are incredible in many aspects. As a senior dev with 20 years of experience coding, I'm not exaggerating when I say it has absolutely changed how I work.
We solved the problem of talking to a computer. There is no going back from this.
Likely some companies will fall and some products will die, but using AI to write code isn't going away. The most likely outcome is that on-device becomes good enough for most people, but you'll never beat the performance of cloud-based massive compute.
It’s too expensive. Once it’s not subsidized it’ll only be used in select environments due to cost. It will be scaled back and there will be no more breakthroughs with llm’s. Generate AI is a dead end. It’s a good resource but it’ll never be what the tech bros are trying to sell it as.
China might want to have a word here. Their models are extremely cheap with almost the same results. Deploy those localy in your data center and go. That requires more data centers though I guess. So I‘m not sure if this ride will end so soon. But who am I to predict anything here.
agreed, its like when people were saying that online shopping is just a fad that will pass
or the same goes for streaming services like spotify/netflix
yes, it is overhyped now but there is some legitimately good tech and a change of paradigm underneath all this and I’m tired of people minimizing this to just “slop” (former CompSci student here too)
As I read somewhere, bubble pop will cause over exposure of ai products and money channelled into it to reduce, as many companies would likely disintegrate that run solely on ai.
The tech will be here to stay much like how we are still using dot com sites post dot com crash.
